    The military and the international manufacturing industry are already metric for instance boing and the dying auto companies.... so are schools and higher education but the american people are behind. Metric is science measures... why are they so so behind the times... 47th or 63rd? Education is where in the world scale?

    Metric things would do 3 things... #1 stupid people would try to undertstand it or grasp it while more important things were addressed beyond their limited scope, #2 when people talked about 1 degree global warming they would understand how really bad it was because it was 2-3 degrees fahrenheit. #3 it would help education and US students and US populace. Finally also do ISO dates 2008-11-22.

  2. Adopt ISO Dates (YYYY-MM-DD)

    Seriously though we actulally only need to convince one or two people... the policy-maker and you... what do you think most people can understand big smaller smallest? Start small and go big.

    You want to give the uninformed non-internet people a voice? I would love that they learned something but we see lots of those red states happlessly mirroring stupid ideas, yet I believe we can teach poeple something eventually or perhaps enable sane people to deprogram all the silly god based education not founded on earth. Here on earth, man is better suited than god as this was made for us.
